Would it be possible to create alias's in command line for entering frequently used data such as text...

as an example.

alias: do
content: do you have further questions?

this would be helpfull for fast typing.

The aliases in Command Line plugin behave like any normal alias. You can substitute a long command with a short name (or even vice versa, but that would be silly).
If your line starts with an alias, then the command is executed instead, with everything you typed after the alias as additional parameters.

And if you need to type in the same text repeatedly, that's what copy & paste is for... this has nothing to do with aliases.

The command line is designed to make it fast to execute programs, not produce text. It sounds like you just want fast text entry which would be best with a clipboard manager like ClipX or a
similar program. Maybe that would be an idea for a TrueLaunchBar plugin - clipboard history.

Well I created some thing like this as a hack for the text editor UltraEdit [link]

You can view the source at the above link...which is in AutoIt code...a very simple programming lang...think of it as basic for macro's. Smile

With some minor modifications you should be able to come up with what you want and need.

Unless something has changed and we missed it the Command Line Plugin does not support copying and pasting but one can drag and drop text to it.

CTRL+V and CTRL+C must paste/copy text.
